Following some of the most significant protests in recent American history, you'd think Missouri's priorities would be rebuilding frayed ties within its communities and addressing its policing problem.
Instead, the overwhelmingly Republican state legislature thinks that, SWAT teams aside, there aren't enough guns out there.
On Thursday, Missouri lawmakers addressed this concern by overriding an earlier veto from Governor Jay Nixon and voting into place a law that massively expands gun rights in the state: it lowers the legal age to obtain a concealed weapons permit from 21 to 19, allows residents with such a permit to openly carry guns, and teachers to bring them to school. The new open carry policy will apply even in cities and towns that have laws against it.

I have all the guns I need, but not as many as I’d like...

Thanks Bookman for that info - it's apparent she supports the disarmament of the kaffir so as to make it easier for her head chopping buddies to have their way. She's not just some airhead lib chick, she's a fifth column enemy agent, inside the gates. She should be encouraged to pack her bags and go join the ISIS gang across the ocean. I'm sure she has some skills they could find useful.

I have all the guns I need, but not as many as Id likeTools and guns. We always have enough to do the job but always want the ones to allow us to do it quicker and easier.

A concealed weapon permit allows you to carry openly?
Who knew?

Her (Alice Speri) biography is hilarious.

The law modestly restores some constitutional rights in the state, that have been violated for decades. That's an excellent viewpoint.

With the way her mouth sets, it looks like a vet should float her back teeth, so a bit and bridle ride true.

....so they think the police are violent and aggressive, but cops should be the only ones allowed to carry guns?
Is that the argument?

LOL. Yep you nailed it. Typical liberal mindless blather loaded with contradictions.
